From the Organizer
Hello, Racers!
Due to unexpected low enrollment, we're making the proactive decision to make the 5th Annual Pug Run 5k a virtual-only event. Virtual runners will all receive a limited-edition race t-shirt. The remaining proceeds will help us with our mission to rescue and re-home Pugs. If you registered as an in-person runner, you'll automatically be moved to virtual runner status.
We had a wonderful location for this year's event and we're looking forward to revealing it to you in 2022 for our 6th Annual Pug Run 5k. We sincerely appreciate your support and look forward to seeing your smiling faces at one of our upcoming events. Pugkin Bash 2021 at CityPlace LaGrange, Ky on Oct 16th or at the 2022 Pug Run 5k.
